Terminate the unpacker child processes if the main process exits
Should the main process exit (e.g. the user presses CTRL+C) or explcitily sends it a signal, the desired behaviour is for the children to stop unpacking and exit. This commit adds a line to configure the kernel to send SIGKILL to the children if their parent dies. The same option also exists on various BSDs (not all of them) but with a different name which has to be checked for and adjusted should the program be required to run on one of those.
